That depends on where in Portugal. Northern parts of the Med. countries get cold and the Southern ones are warm.
To those of you who think Portugal is currently in Summer, this country is North of the equator.

Around Easter the weather may be sunny or it may be cloudy, it may be a bit warm or chilly, one can't really tell, so you'd better check out the weather forecast before coming to see what it's like. Of course, it depends on which part of the country you're going to as well: it will be warmer in the south and not so warm upnorth (gosh, why do I live in the north?).
Just a couple of words to finish: a) Portugal is in Europe. It's definitely not summer here now. Just check a map; b) Portugal is not a Mediterranean country. Just check a map.

Well, I would say it should be pleasantly warm around Easter. Not as hote as in mid summer when temperatures have been as high as 40ºC! And indeed it is warmer in the south than in the north.
Portugal has most likely the best climat of Europe, however it does have winter! Not as cold as in Central Europe, but it can be chilly yes.
Anyway that will depend on your standards. If you come from the north of Europe, you'll love it here, no matter which part of the year it is. But if you come from a (even) warmer country, than you might find a difference!
I wish you a good trip and a Happy Easter! :-)

It obviously depends on the region of Portugal you want to know.
Lisbon (and the Estremadura area) has an average temperature of 65° the highest and 51°F the lowest, with 1.56 inches of rain, in march.
In April the lowest temperatures will be around 52°F and 66°F the highest.
The temperatures are usually a couple of degrees either lower or higher in the south or north.
I assume that you are going on vacation so probably easter will be snny if you visit portugese beaches.

Hi there
The weather should have warmed up by then. It was 10 degrees today in Central Portugal - a little chilly for my liking, however by the time it gets to April it's usually about 22-26 degrees, blue skies and sun.

I tend to use Lonely Planet http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ for a summary of the country's weather. The BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/ gives a better picture of avergae weather conditions throughout the year but only for specific cities.
All in all, Portugal's weather would agreeable for a Easter holiday.
